Selected y-o-y negative effects: Trend of declining electricity prices Lower allocation of emission allowances for power

production European Parliament’s decision to reject the

proposed amendment to the ETS EU Directive Decision of the Bulgarian regulatory authority

Selected y-o-y positive effects: End of operations in Albania Correction factors for distribution in the Czech Rep. Full production in wind farms in Romania Allowance trading (CER gate)

Selected effects not included in prediction: Risk of worsened national regulatory conditions in

Southeastern Europe Risk of adjustments for fixed assets due to the

development of power industry regulation, deepening debt crisis and risk of economic development in Europe

ETS = Emissions Trading System

WE SIGNED TWO STRATEGIC CONTRACTS THAT WILL

GREATLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE FUTURE STABILITY OF CEZ

AND STABILITY OF THE COAL & ELECTRICITY MARKET IN CZ

Long-term contract on coal deliveries to Počerady Power Plant Contract with Vršanská uhelná, a.s. (Czech Coal group) signed on March 19

Delivery of 5 million tons per year until the Vršany mine is decoaled (around 2062)

Initial price of CZK 38.8/GJ will gradually get to the level of 65% of hard coal price (ARA)

Contract includes CEZ’s option to sell the Počerady Power Plant in 2016 and 2024 at predefined price

A dispute resolution agreement was also signed

Sale of Chvaletice Power Plant Contract with Litvínovská uhelná, a.s. was signed on March 19

Sales price is CZK 4.12 bn plus 90% of the market price of emission allowances assigned to the Chvaletice Power Plant every year during the NAP III period (5.3 million tons of EUAs in total)

Actual deal settlement date depends on the opinion of the Czech Rep. antimonopoly body (OPC)

CZECH REPUBLICOTHER SELECTED EVENTS IN THE PAST QUARTER

Selection of contractor for Temelín Nuclear Power Plant units 3 & 4 March 25, notification of assessment and preliminary evaluation of bids sent to bidders: consortium of Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC and WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC ČR Czech-Russian consortium of ŠKODA JS, Atomstroyexport and Gidropress April 3 – 4, individual negotiations with both bidders concerning the preliminary evaluation of their bids April 15 - 18 & May 2- 3, further individual negotiations with both bidders

Record-breaking and reliable production in Q1 Thanks to highly reliable operation, nuclear power plants broke

a record in electricity generation (8.2 TWh/quarter) The margin achieved in Q1 was aided by reliable operation of coal-fired plants and higher production in hydro

plants

We increase the efficiency of hydro power plants Overhaul of Lipno Power Plant with a total investment of CZK 200 million is on schedule In December 2013, approx. 3% increase in efficiency will be achieved and production will increase by 4 million

kWh/year

BULGARIACEZ GROUP HAS DULY FULFILLED ITS OBLIGATIONS AS AN ENERGY LICENCE HOLDER SINCE THE BEGINNING OF ITS OPERATIONS Feb. 19, Bulgarian regulatory authority (DKEVR) announced the start of licence revocation proceedings without

giving any reason

March 5, Household electricity prices in the distribution area of CEZ Razpredelenie reduced by 7.17%; this tariff decision of the Bulgarian regulatory authority is valid until June 30, 2013

March 28, Bulgarian antimonopoly body started investigation of CEZ, Energo-Pro and the Austrian company EVN on suspicion of their cooperation on joint steps to make changing the electricity supplier more difficult for consumers; on the same day, the antimonopoly body raided the CEZ headquarters in Sofia

March 29, CEZ sent a complaint to the European Commission concerning the methods of licence granting and revocation in the energy industry as well as some other official procedures that violate Bulgarian and EU law and the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU (in the area of freedom of establishment and free movement of capital)

April 3, Bulgarian High Public Prosecutor’s Office finished the first part of investigation of electricity distributors, the Bulgarian regulatory authority (DKEVR) and the state-owned energy company (NEK EAD); on its basis, it announced its intent to commence several criminal proceedings – against these entities and the state’s representatives in the supervisory bodies of distribution companies (as for CEZ companies, this only concerns awarding public contracts that are not directly related to their licensed activities)

April 16, Public hearing of CEZ representatives with DKEVR where CEZ explained that identified irregularities (stated by DKEVR) are not of a nature allowing licence revocation. The discussion was fair and, according to the latest information, DKEVR’s decision on licence revocation will be hold up by 2 months, i.e. probably after the date of the parliamentary election

ABROADOTHER SELECTED EVENTS IN THE PAST QUARTER

Albania Jan. 21, The Albanian regulator decided to revoke the licences of CEZ Shpërndarje (CEZ SH) and appoint an

“administrator”, thereby assigning to him the management of CEZ SH, including the decision-making authority, responsibilities and rights of CEZ SH statutory bodies and thus the shareholder’s rights of ČEZ, a. s.

Due to the loss of CEZ’s control over it, CEZ Shpërndarje was removed from the consolidated CEZ Group, which had a one-off positive impact of CZK +1.8 bn on financial results (net income) in Q1 2013

Feb. 7, CEZ Group officially informed the Albanian government of its intention to conduct international arbitration on the grounds of a failure to protect the investment of ČEZ, a. s., in the distribution company CEZ Shpërndarje

Preparations for the initiation of the announced arbitration are underway

Romania March 29, The energy regulator published its regular annual report, containing a proposal to reduce future support

for renewables

April 2, The Ministry of Economy published draft amendment to Act 220/2008 on renewable sources, incl. a vague proposal to postpone the assignment of a portion of green certificates (GCs)

Uncertainty concerns especially the scheme of assignment of deferred GCs, GC price guarantee, approval process for the newly proposed procedure (incl. possible role and notification of the European Commission)

Poland Preliminarily negotiated coal delivery contract, incl. price reduction, for Skawina power plant for 2013 and 2014

Completed construction of Borek Szlachecki small hydro power plant with an installed capacity of 885 kW

Continued wind farm development and preparations for the commencement of construction of the first three projects from the Ecowind portfolio

EXPECTED Y-O-Y DECREASE IN CEZ GROUP’S EBITDA MAIN REASONS

The value of EBITDA for 2012 reflects a change in the method of reporting Sales and adjustments for fixed assets.ČEZ* = ČEZ, a. s., including the spun-off coal-fired power plants in Počerady, Chvaletice and Dětmarovice

Decline of ČEZ* achieved electricity prices:– Decline in electricity prices− Decrease in hedging CZK/EUR exchange rate

Purchase of allowances for ČEZ* production:− Reduction in allowance allocation for production in NAP III

Other impacts on ČEZ*:− Extraordinary profit from trading in 2012− Higher specific cost of production− / + Other effects

Albania: + End of operations and exclusion from consolidation

Distribution & Sale Czech Rep.:+ Positive effect of correction factors− Extra margin on electricity purchases and sales in 2012

Romania:+ Growth in the volume of power production in wind farms− Extraordinary payments of state railways’ debts in 2012

Poland:− Reduction in emission allowance allocation for production in

NAP III− Extraordinary revenue from sale of emission allowances in

Selected effects on splitting out the amount of EBITDA throughout 2013 (in comparison with 2012)

CZK 2.7 bn cost of allowances purchased for 2013 production (free derogatory allocation from NAP III in Q1)

Effect of hedging exchange rate in comparison with 2012: positive in Q1 2013 but negative in Q2-Q4 (CZK 2.4 bn)

Specific cost of ČEZ* production higher by CZK 1 bn in Q2-Q4 2013 (higher coal prices and effect of commencement of gas generation)

Extraordinary gain in Q1 2013 from allowance trading, especially utilization of a portion of CER gate (CZK 1.5 bn )
